Query: My g-grandmother’s father was Joseph Ravia and her mother was said to be Amanda Almon, a Cherokee. My g-grandmother’s name was Mary Ida Ravia Harkins Shelton Speaks. She was born in 1867 and died in 1952. I have found information about her beginning in 1893 when she married J.T. Speaks but have not been able to find anything about her before 1893. I cannot find her marriage to Shelton recorded. The family story is that she left her family around 1880 and moved in with a Harkins family and took their name at that time. Her father remarried to Mollie Moore in Ravia, Oklahoma (Indian Territory) in 1880 and that is why she left home. She continued living around the Tishomingo/Ravia–Johnston/Bryan County area for the remainder of her life. If you can help me find out anything about her life before 1893, I would so appreciate it.
